The cost of interior design can vary widely depending on multiple factors such as the scope of the project, location, materials, and the designer’s experience. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Pricing Models

Interior designers usually charge in one of three ways:

1. Flat Fee / Project-Based
   • Charged for the entire project from start to finish.
   • Common for full-home renovations or turnkey solutions.
   • Typical range in Delhi NCR: ₹1,50,000 – ₹10,00,000+ depending on project size and quality of finishes.
2. Hourly Rate
   • Designer charges for the time spent planning, sourcing, and supervising.
   • Typical rate in India: ₹1,500 – ₹5,000 per hour.
   • Best for smaller projects or consultation-only services.
3. Percentage of Project Cost
   • Usually 10–25% of the total project budget.
   • The higher the project cost, the higher the fee.

1. Project Size & Scope
   • A single room: ₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000
   • 2–3 BHK apartment: ₹3,00,000 – ₹15,00,000

3. Materials & Finishes
   • Standard laminate or engineered wood: Economical
   • Marble, granite, or imported materials: Expensive
4. Location
   • Prices are generally higher in Delhi NCR, Gurgaon, and Noida due to labor and material costs.
5. Designer Experience
